Aug 21 2006

.... the longest running and most popular tourist destination in country New South Wales

 

(Sydney) – Following a highly competitive tender, Acoustiguide of Australia has been awarded the contract to provide audio tours to accompany visitors during their visit to the newly re-opened Devil’s Coach House and Nettle Cave. The tour is provided on Acoustiguide’s state-of-the-art exSite™ MP3 audio guide players. With 1000 players, this is the largest audio guide installation in Australia. In addition to playing pre-recorded information, the players also collect information showing how the visitors use the tour.


The audio tours are currently available in English, German and Mandarin and last for approximately one hour. They offer up to three layers of information from general interest to expert commentary and cover geological, indigenous and social history. The new audio guide allows visitors to commence their tour at any time, continue their tour at their own pace, listen to what they want - when they want and delve into as much information as interests them.


Jenolan Caves lies 175km West of Sydney. Not only is it the longest running tourist destination in Australia, but it is the most popular tourist destination in New South Wales, with over 250,000 visitors annually enjoying the vast chambers, underground rivers and magnificent crystal formations of the nine show caves, and an ever increasing number entering into the world of adventure caving.
